although i'm a fan of market mechanisms, i'm a critic of the carbon tax. i don't think there's a politically feasible path forward. the point is instead of trying to make carbon intensive forms of energy more expensive, we should be working to make low and zero carbon forms of energy cheaper. >> okay. >> that is -- >> i like that idea, but when you do that, and you have a loan guarantee program for a solar company called solyndra, that becomes the biggest example of corruption, the biggest part of government subsidizing industry, corporate welfare, cronyism, et cetera. they are exactly the thing the right wing hates. >> right, because all of the options that come forward are all big government liberal ideas about how we go about doing this. our options to drive energy innovation are not only government loan guarantees and the government reaching far forward into the commercialization process. instead we could have the government work in cooperation with the private sector on public/private research and development initiatives that don't pick winners but wo

they want the president to go forward with the keystone pipeline, and they want tax reform that favors the wealthy based on the paul ryan plan. if those demands sounds familiar, that's because it's effectively the platform that cost republicans the white house just last year. >> i will act to repeal obama care. i will build that pipeline if i have to myself! i'm very supportive of the ryan budget plan. >> republicans are blackmailing the american people with the agenda that lost the last presidential election by 3.5 million votes. it's a strategy born from the inexplicable existence to have two votes, one to spend money and another to pay for the money spent. in 1979, a democratic congressman named richard gephardt set out to change this, merging the two votes into one. but when republicans took back the house in 1995, they separated the votes again, paving the way for what is happening today. since then, democrats have never demanded concessions in direct exchange for raising the debt ceiling. as house speaker under george w. bush, nancy pelosi had the opportunity three times to take
